Advancing Your World, Critical Thinking, Integrated Practice, and Design Excellence—these four principles are fundamental to the culture of HED, guiding its thinking, its behavior, its belief system, its mindset. Our collective and individual decisions and actions; our relationships and rapport with clients, partners, our colleagues, and the community-at-large; the effectiveness and resolve of our multidisciplinary teams; and the measure of every advancement achieved by the firm on behalf of the people it serves—all of these things are informed by our shared commitment to these principles.
